  • Summary

  • A core premise is that many individuals struggle with “Post-Traumatic Successful Relationship Syndrome” (PTSRS) or “Successful Relationship Anxiety” (SRA)—terms that reflect an underlying fear of relationship success, stability, and depth. These concepts align with insights from Patrick Carnes on trauma bonding, where past experiences of dysfunction become familiar and even preferable to the discomfort of unknown, healthier patterns. Trauma bonding, as Carnes explains, forms when attachment is intertwined with psychological pain, making certain people feel more comfortable in unstable relationships than in stable ones. Individuals with PTSRS may unconsciously sabotage healthy relationships, as familiar patterns of emotional turmoil validate a deep-seated sense of self they unknowingly maintain.
